Thanks for joining me on my crafty journey. I'm now retired which gives me the chance to spend a lot more time indulging myself in my crafty habit!!!
I'm part of four Design Teams and absolutely love the work I do with them.
It's very exciting to get your work shown on TV and I never cease to get excited when a show is coming up. It's lovely to see what the team have produced.
I appreciate all my followers on my blog and thank you all so much for following my journey.

This week for the Challenge over on the http://welove2create.blogspot.co.uk/ Blog I've made a little floral ATC. The inspiration came from this months Craft Stamper Magazine. I've been considering cancelling my subscriptions to the stamping magazines I take as they were becoming a bit "Samey" - well have you seen this months Craft Stamper? Wow has it had a make over - I loved it!!!!!

So anyway back to my ATC - I took my ATC and covered it in Gesso and when dry added Violet and Permanent Red Panpastel for the background. I then added all sorts of texture, more Gesso and more PanPastels. Next came the florals, flourishes and butterfly. Again more gesso and more PanPastels - you just wouldn't believe the amount of layers there is on this project! It got a little dark at one point so I just knocked it all back a bit with the White Gesso until I got the desired affect.

Next came the pearls and sparkles and a bit of silver gilding wax, hope you like it.

Just thought I'd pop in to add my Design Team samples from Sheena's shows at the weekend.

It was so lovely to try something new! Not only that it was something new which I absolutely loved doing. I did a bit of practice but was soon off on a mission "fusioning" everything that stood still! It was so calming - if you haven't already done so you must try it.
